Really looking forward to having him back.
He has a real x factor, and is a bums on seats player who people look for on the teamsheet, and then a bums off seat player when he gets the ball.

Definitely get a bit of that buzz when he gets the ball, but big shoes to fill.

Exactly

He's certainly a "busy" player
It always seems to look and feel like there's a lot about to happen when he's involved.


But Wade's record stands alone.


I'd prefer Odogwu to become the best possible version of Poalo Odogwu, rather than trying to mimic Wadey

Completely agree.

Paolo doesn't have Wade-like pace so would be better off focusing on himself and his own playing style rather than looking to emulate others.

Yep agree on that.

from reading the article the only comparison to Wade that is made is that he can make something out of nothing & players want to get him the ball as early as they can.
They are very different players in how they play

Sorted out your "quotes" for you  ;D

I agree, especially as it looks like he's going to be playing at centre a lot more, a different skill set.
